Women On the Wing- Learn to Hunt

This is a 2 day and 1 night program aimed to help women with little to no experience with firearms or hunting. By the end of the weekend ladies will have gained experience with habitat exploration, Hunter Education, rifles training, deer hunting basics, and a practical guide to processing deer, pending a successful hunt.

Ladies will spend Friday morning with a DNR instructor focusing on rifle comfort, safety, and deer hunting basics.
Saturday, ladies will be paired with a hunting mentor and have the opportunity to complete a morning or evening doe hunt. With high hopes of harvesting several does, Saturday's down time will be spent learning field dressing and processing techniques.

There will be the opportunity to learning to fish, have habitat education walks with biologist, as well as watch upland working dog demonstrations! This is a packed weekend at Quail Country Lodge in Arlington, Ga. 

We understand many novice outdoors-women might not have firearms or access to hunting equipment. As a program we will be able to provide what is needed to have a fun and successful weekend. We encourage participants to bring their own firearm and ammunition if they would like to become more comfortable with their own equipment. But, it will not be required or necessary to bring your own firearm.

The $125 Registration Ticket includes lodging, meals, education, rifle range practice, equipment rental, and a good time! Participants will be required to purchase a hunting license before arrival on October 27th. If you do not anticipate hunting after this event, please reach out to Audrey for a special day pass offered though our Hunter Education program on site.

Participants will also be sent a pre-assessment of skills survey so we have an idea of the knowledge our participants hold prior to the event. This will help us keep everyone safe as well as help us know how many mentors and staff to invite.

If you have questions or concerns please reach out to Audrey Hawk by email, ahawk@quailforever.org or cell, (678) 590-6293. Spaces are limited and will go quickly. If you are unable to come on this date or there is not enough space, please get in touch! We would love to host another Women on the Wing event near you!
